Some say “Go big or go home!” but it takes real talent to compress something down to just a few studs and still keep it recognizable. Of course, many of the micro models we feature here aren’t so small after all, whether it’s a vast cityscape or starship.

Supersized Mantis

In his Octan Refinery (previous post), Mark Stafford included several tiny yet awesome gunships:

In this thread on Classic-Space.com, Mark announces the minifig-scale version of this gunship, dubbed the Mantis:

Grigorij Rasputin Medical Frigate by Jerac

I’m really enjoying the recent surge in micro-scale building (mainly in the Space community, though SEALUG member Justin Major showed off a really awesome modular city at this month’s meeting — should’ve taken pictures).

Classic-Spacer Jerac (Jerrec on Brickshelf) posted a micro medical frigate titled Grigorij Rasputin earlier this morning:

Here’s the Rasputin assisting another micro-scale ship — note the extended docking corridor and the small shuttles swarming over the stricken vessel:

Mike Yoder’s Micro Docking Station

I love micro and mini-scale creations. Teeny weeny cityscapes and itsy bitsy spaceships are just fantastic. Classic-Spacer Mike Yoder (mryoder on Brickshelf) has posted a drop-dead gorgeous orbital docking station, replete with a service shuttle, tanker, and mecha.

First up, an overview of the docking station itself:

Next, a closeup of the shuttle:

The tanker:

Finally, the mecha:

Greg Mote’s Micro Star Wars Vehicles

As if the Star Wars MINI scale weren’t small enough, builders have also been creating “micro-scale” Star Wars vehicles for some time — especially since the release of 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer.

New Brickshelf user Greg Mote has just uploaded a bunch of micro-scale Star Wars vehicles that take this scale to a whole new level.

Millenium Falcon:

Sandcrawler:

Jango Fett’s Slave I:

And more. Very nice work.

From the buildings themselves to the snowy background, this little creation is absolutely perfect:
